Next Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week– the most sacred time of out Church year. The blessing and distribution of palms will be done at all of the Masses. At the 11:30 am Mass, we will be joining with St. Austin's Church for the blessing of palms and procession. We will meet in the courtyard in front of the Harry Ransom Center across 21st Street, bless the palms and listen to the gospel of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, and then process to our prospective worship spaces: St. Austin's community going to their church, and we, going to the UCC. Please join us for this beautiful way of entering into Holy Week. The Scrutinies This weekend, the Church celebrates the third of three scrutinies with the Elect - those who are preparing for Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. We pray for our Elect: Aliya Baig, Chi Elliott, Jaime Fink, Andrew Hui, Nancy Ngo, Femi Olasupo, Adam Shendelman, Vivian Xue. These prayers are to assist them in their preparation for the Easter Sacraments and make them firm their commitment as they enter the Church. Please keep them, as well as our Candidates for Full Communion, Juan Camarillo and Nicholas Chu, in your prayers..
JESUS’ MINISTRY SUMMARIZED The story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead is the single longest story (apart from the Passion) in the Gospel of John. In it we find a summary of most of Jesus’ ministry. We see his very human nature as he is moved by Martha and Mary’s sorrows and as he himself weeps at the tomb of Lazarus. He is the wisdom of God’s Word made flesh as he explains to his followers that the death of Lazarus will serve as a sign of the glory of God. He crowns the miracles he works in John’s Gospel (which began with the most “human” miracle of making new wine at Cana’s wedding) by raising Lazarus from the dead—a “preview,” if you will, of his own death and resurrection to come. This portrait of Jesus reminds us, as we near the end of our Lenten journey, that he is with us, knows us, understands us in every moment of our lives. He knows the joy of our human feasting, he knows the sorrow of our weeping. As we prepare to walk with him through the days of Holy Week, we are filled with faith that—through Christ—God’s glory will be with us in every moment of our lives and—with © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. Christ—in our life everlasting.
